\section{Purpose}

The EECS Department is trying to develop a system to monitor and
improve teaching effectivness.  Part of this effort involves formulating
and checking an Educational Objectives and Outcomes statement like the one
for 6.042 on the course web page.
%; this statement is repeated below.
\fi

We would like your feedback on how the course is going and whether you want
to suggest any mid-course adjustments.
\textbf{You may submit this form anonymously}.  Even if you do omit your name,
please consider indicating your team (by location and TA).

\large{Your Name:}\brule{3in}

\large{Circle your TA}: \hspace{.7em}David\hspace{.7em} Jelani\hspace{.7em}

\subsection{Objectives}
On completion of 6.042, students will be able to
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\label{Basic Discrete Mathematics Concepts}
\textbf{reason mathematically about basic data types and structures} (such
as numbers, sets, graphs, and trees) used in computer algorithms and
systems; distinguish rigorous definitions and conclusions from merely
plausible ones; synthesize elementary proofs, especially proofs by
induction.\brule{0.5in}

\item
\label{Computational Processes} 
\textbf{model and analyze computational processes} using
analytic and combinatorial methods.\brule{0.5in}

\iffalse
\item \label{Discrete Probability} \textbf{apply principles of discrete
probability} to calculate probabilities and expectations of simple random
processes.\brule{0.5in}
\fi

\item 
\label{teams} 
\textbf{work in small teams} to accomplish all the objectives above.\brule{0.5in}
\end{enumerate}

\fi

\section*{Learning Outcomes}
In the indicated space next to each item, please enter a digit from five
(5) to one (1) where

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rcll}
\hline
\textbf{5} & means &  ``this objective/outcome was & \textbf{thoroughly}
achieved for me personally.''\\
\textbf{4} & means &  ``\dots & \textbf{adequately} \dots''\\
\textbf{3} & means &  ``\dots & \textbf{somewhat} \dots''\\

\textbf{1} & means &  ``\dots & \textbf{not} \dots''\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

Students will be able to:
\begin{enumerate}


\item \label{basic} use \textbf{logical notation} to define and reason
about \textbf{fundamental mathematical concepts} such as sets, relations,
functions, and integers.\brule{0.5in}

%(enter 5 ``thoroughly achieved, \dots, 1 ``not achieved'') \brule{0.5in}

\item \label{soundness} \textbf{evaluate elementary mathematical
arguments} and identify fallacious \emph{reasoning} (not just fallacious
conclusions).  \brule{0.5in}


\item \label{proofs} \textbf{synthesize induction hypotheses and simple
induction proofs}.  \brule{0.5in}

\item \label{arithmetic} prove \textbf{elementary properties of modular
arithmetic} and explain their applications in Computer Science,
for example in cryptography.\brule{0.5in}

\item \label{graphs} \textbf{apply graph theory models} of data structures
and state machines to solve problems of connectivity and constraint
satisfaction, for example, scheduling.  \brule{0.5in}

\item \label{invariants} apply the method of invariants and well-ordering
to \textbf{prove correctness and termination} of state
machines and processes.  \brule{0.5in}

expressions} from series and recurrences for growth rates of processes.

elementary combinatorial processes such as permutations and
combinations. \brule{0.5in}

\item \label{probability} \textbf{calculate probabilities} and discrete
distributions for simple combinatorial processes; calculate
expectations.\brule{0.5in}

\item \label{student teams} \textbf{problem-solve in a small team} with
fellow students.  \brule{0.5in}
